Handy link to those out-of-copyright vignettes

Readers of this blog over the past couple of years have been treated to a series of elegantly-written pieces by Miriam Levenson, these being biographical vignettes of writers, composers, artists and other authorial creators whose deaths triggered the release into the public domain of their copyright-protected works in life-plus-seventy jurisdictions.

Miriam has now set up her own website, which contains a page with links to the 20 vignettes which she has supplied to this blog over the past two winters.
